Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

The subject has already been discussed on this mailinglist but all
solutions I found did not satisfied my needs.

I would like to be able to create a servicedependency for each service
hosted on a host with NRPE installed against the NRPE service itself.

Unfortunately, servicedependency does not allow you to massively define
service dependencies against a single service hosted on the same host as
the service.

Basically, I don't want to have to define a servicedependency for each
host that has NRPE installed on it and even less for each NRPE based
service.

I would like to be able to use this definition:

define servicedependency {

; NRPE service for each hosts referred by services in nrpe-services
; The NRPE service has previously been mass-defined on all hosts
; with NRPE installed using a host template
service_description NRPE

; Every NRPE based services
; Each NRPE based service is added to nrpe-services
; using a service template
dependent_servicegroup_name nrpe-services

execution_failure_criteria n
notification_failure_criteria c,u
}

How hard would it be to implement this feature? Is it even possible?
Would it be the right "way" to do it? Any idea? Thanks!

Note: I think a similar idea has already been proposed here:
